SAN FRANCISCO-October 13, 2010 - CBS.com was the #1 network site in video viewers (24 million), streams (264 million) and minutes (1 billion) during the month of September, according to comScore VideoMetrix.

"The programs that make up CBS's lineup this season have been phenomenally successful so far," says Jeff Clark, Vice President of CBS.com. "Due to the high demand for these shows, we knew we needed to provide fans with the best content possible. We're thrilled to see that fans of CBS's shows have come back to CBS.com again and again to enrich and extend their viewing experience."
